Did they Nerf LI HM?

That 'no one-shotting' thing is bollocks. A dedicated group with good DPS (2 tanks or less on Lorrick) can in fact do it in 15-20m.

@ OP, yes it was nerfed a bit, for instance of the Droid boss you now get a warning of which person is going to get the arch and they can move it away from the group. At release it would just drop without any warning. But is still is an FP which requires people to know what they are doing and be in at least half Columi, hard to carry people through it.

That is the only change I am aware of, and in fact, I think the old version where lightning just dropped unexpectedly was easier. Now we have people trying to run away and place their lightning somewhere, which ends up with dropping lightning EVERYWHERE.

On the "one-shot" discussion I think somebody confused "one-shot every boss" with "solo kill every boss". Second languages can be tricky that way.

Before the only option you had was to kite the boss if you had melee. Now the melee can actually play the mechanic. They should drop it in pre-determined places and not run around with it like headless chickens so in a good team is won't be 'everywhere', it will be exactly where you want it.

It probably is the only change, I have also seen Sav-Rak not smash and just jump up to a platform but that's likely not intentional.

He does that if your DPS is strong enough. He jumps at 80%/60%/40%/20%, but the smash is on a timer. Hit those thresholds before the timer, and he won't do it.

Ironically, high DPS makes this fight trivial, because he starts spitting after the smash OR the jump and continues until he is burned. Avoid the smash, and you avoid a lot of damage from the cleave and spit. This lets the healer throw out some damage, which helps to avoid the smash.

The next time you heal this fight, throw out some damage/DoTs early, and see the difference it makes.

Perhaps im misunderstanding the terminology of "one-shooting" LI HM. If by one shooting you think you can one-shot kill any of the bosses in BH gear or less, no you freaking cant. If you mean you can clear LI without wiping or dying and do so in 20 minutes, yes you can.

I agree once the mechanics are down and people know what they are doing it isnt a difficult HM to do. The droid boss is all about not dropping bubbles where the party is moving and interrupting incinerate. The platform boss is all about stacking and healing... The last boss is tanking phase one / DPS phase two.

HOWEVER, LI HM is much harder to get down then any of the tier ones which i can two-man with ease and i know some can solo. So please, you're not cool or UbEr, or anyhing other then competent if you can clear LI HM in 20 mins after practice.

LI is definitely not that difficult if you go with a group that knows the mechanics. The problems happen when you get pugs that have never done it and show up in greens because they don't know that the get a free set of recruit and tionese gear and/or they don't care that it is a tier 2 hard mode and think its fine. You can easily clear this in less than 20 mins. Here is a video of us doing it for LOLs in 17 and half minutes after engaging the first mini boss at the bridge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIBIq...ature=youtu.be

There was another very significant nerf to the droid boss. He no longer does an interruptable attack before he casts incinerate. This means the tank can't waste his interrupt and it should be available for incinerate. Another small nerf is that he does not stop to do this ability any more, he does it on the move. It was very frustrating to be kiting him when he casts incinerate and get 2 or 3 stacks because he is out of range due to his previous attack.

Personally I hate the twitch and lag issues that come into play when dealing with interrupting channels. Casts that are reasonably long (1.5 seconds) are OK. Nightmare pilgrim does a 1s cast that is impossible to interrupt on my computer with 16 people's abilities going crazy causing all that lag. When I have to interrupt incinerate, I almost always take 1 stack due to lag.

talking about pve content, people say "one-shot" as in beating the boss in the first attempt. they most certainly don't mean they are killing the boss with a single attack because that would be stupid
